My grandfather fought in Light Horse in World War One and was wounded at Gallipoli. In 1941 he put his age down to serve together with his four sons. His love, courage and strength, tempered with humour, has shaped the person I am today.

In Thailand it is the responsibility of the eldest in the family to look after the younger siblings, and when the youngest can look after themselves, it is their responsibility to show gratitude. This is the story of my sister, who shaped who I am today.
